Duncan: 50 Weeks Old

Duncan is 50 weeks old today! That is a lot of weeks! How can he be almost a year old already? It's all happening so fast. Holy cow!

My little peanut is such a boy. He loves all things with wheels: cars, trucks, trains, planes, construction vehicles, pictures of all of the above, strollers, wagons, EVERYTHING! Big or small, he is always inspecting the wheels on things. He will just sit there and spin them in complete fascination.

So obviously, his new favorite book is his "Trucks" book. Each page has moveable parts to illustrate what each vehicle does and he just loves to look at all the different types of trucks over and over again. Today, for example, we have read it about two dozen times and I finally had to put it on top of the book shelf to get him to move on to something else. :)

We had a fun weekend with trips to Noe Valley and the zoo! Duncan has suddenly grown like a weed and was in desperate need of new shoes so we went shoe shopping in Noe Valley, had lunch at a fantastic little Mexican food spot, and got in some play time at the local playground. At the playground, Daddy showed Duncan how to ride the "motorcycles" and the kid was instantly addicted. He bounced & giggled like crazy on it! He is going to be trouble, I can tell. LOL It sure was a fun afternoon. :)

Sunday, we spent the afternoon at the zoo! The boys had never been to the petting zoo part of the children's area before, so I took them there to get up close with some farm animals. Daddy loved it! He looked like he had fun feeding the goats. :)

Ahhh, but all this fun always has it's price, doesn't it?

After having just gotten over a nasty cold, it seems as if he is in for another one. :( Today, he is burning up with a fever of 103+. He's been in a pretty decent mood most of the time and doesn't seem to have any other symptoms yet, so I hope his fever comes down and he's back to being healthy soon. Man! We can't catch a break!

Here's hoping we have a good week ahead and get over this latest bug quickly! AND that the nice weather returns. We want to get back to more fun, sun, and goofing around. :)

Until next week, wash your hands!

Love,
Tam
